Osteopathic Care at Iaomai Physiotherapy Clinic, Abuja
Holistic, Hands-On Healing for Muscles, Joints, and the Spine
What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on, non-invasive health care practice that focuses on the body’s structure—particularly the muscles, joints, bones, and nervous system—and how it affects overall health. Founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew T. Still, this drug-free approach is used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal and joint disorders such as:
-
Back and neck pain
-
Joint pain in the arms or legs
-
Sciatica
-
Tension headaches
-
Postural issues
-
Sports and repetitive strain injuries
Manual osteopathy emphasizes restoring balance and alignment within the body to support natural healing.
Techniques Used in Osteopathic Treatment
Osteopathic care involves a wide range of hands-on techniques tailored to your needs, including:
-
Soft Tissue Therapy: Such as trigger point release and myofascial techniques
-
Joint Mobilization: Gentle movements to restore range and reduce stiffness
-
Muscle Energy Techniques: Active participation to lengthen tight muscles
-
Therapeutic Exercises: To support strength and mobility over time
Is Osteopathic Treatment Effective?
Yes. Numerous studies have shown manual osteopathy to be highly effective for managing chronic back and neck pain, joint discomfort, and even certain types of headaches. It is a safe and natural alternative for those seeking pain relief without medication or surgery.
Do You Need a Referral?
No referral is needed to see a manual osteopath. You can book a consultation directly with us at Iaomai Physiotherapy Clinic.
Is It an Ongoing Treatment?
Osteopathic care is personalized and may require multiple sessions, depending on the condition. Some issues are resolved quickly, while others may benefit from ongoing treatment to prevent recurrence or manage chronic discomfort. Your osteopath will guide you with a clear treatment plan based on your needs.
